Hawaii Kayak Fishing: Fishing for Holiday Sashimi | Ono (Wahoo) and Shibi Ahi

#kayakfishing #hobiefishing #fishing Pouring rain, high winds, and thunderstorms shut down the usual spots, so we decided to try the leeward side of the Big Island again. I got a pretty late start, and the horizon was already lighting up before I even got onto the water. Didn't seem to matter though, as the opelu schools were still easy to find and biting. Once the live baits were out, it didn't take long to find some action.
